'Because health is life, today I put gyms, beauty salons and barbers on the list of essential activities,' said Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
In Brazil, exercising at the gym and getting a haircut are essential activities -- so says President Jair Bolsonaro, who claims that COVID-19 is just a weak case of flu.
"Because health is life, today I put gyms, beauty salons and barbers on the list of essential activities," he told reporters late Monday. "It's the same with the hair stylist and barber. And having one's nails painted, and fixing up their hair, etc, is a matter of hygiene."Health Minister Nelson Teich said he was not aware of Bolsonaro's decree, but told reporters that issuing decrees was an"attribution of the president."
